That Thing You Do! (1996)
A light, breezy movie written and directed by Tom Hanks, about a sixties band that briefly makes it big when their fill-in drummer impulsively speeds up their ballad at a show and turns it into a pop sensation. Young Steve Zahn is particularly good in this, and Adam Schlesinger (RIP) wrote a pitch-perfect title track.

“The song from That Thing You Do! gets stuck in my head constantly, but I don't mind when it does because I simply love this movie.”

“This movie was an instant favorite for me when it came out. The soundtrack is amazing, Liv Tyler is a sensation as always, so many quotable lines, and the whole band is so dreamy. Gah I love this one.”

“Love this movie, can’t wait to make my daughters watch it”
